Phew, what a crazy place. We sailed in on Friday morning, to be greeted by what seemed like hundreds of sport fishing boats just around the corner from the anchorage. At first looking in the binoculars we weren't sure what we were seeing, but little by little figured out it was a whole bunch of fishing boats just sitting around. Thought maybe it was a 'day after Thanksgiving' tradition, party kind of thing (at 9 AM tho?), but apparently it's everyday here. The boats that sailed in yesterday morning reported seeing the same phenomenon.

To get anchored, we had to motor around the cruiseship and dodge the fishing boats and jet skis and parasailers crowding the bay. For two days we had cruiseships anchored right by us... but sunday and monday were relatively quiet with no cruisehips in port.

It's quite the party town, luckily we chose not to pay $100/night for a marina slip, which is surrounded by the nightclubs that go all night! The pirate party ships that come around the anchorage were entertaining, we managed to sleep pretty well despite the music they blare. Looks like this will be our last stop on the Baja -- winds are looking favorable for crossing the Sea of Cortez over to mainland Mexcio so we're planning on taking off tomorrow. Heading for Punta Mita directly unless the winds try to push us in another direction. Should arrive in Punta Mita on thursday or friday!
